I complained a while back about how much the feed stats in TypePad suck. I then proceeded to do absolutely nothing about it, I guess figuring that site stats were something that would be high on their priority list and they would somehow figure it out. Well, they haven't so I have a request to make.
The basic problem I have with the TypePad stats is that they don't provide me good data on who is subscribed to my feed. About a week into writing this blog I started using FeedBurner - which has much better information about who is reading my posts. The problem is that my FeedBurner stats only capture people who subscribed after that first week - and I know that a bunch of people subscribed in the first few days after I put up my first post (a result of some shameless self promotion I did).
A few people suggested after my last post on the subject that I simply ask people to re-subscribe to the feed using my new FeedBurner URL. I put that off for a few months, but I think its time. My request is simple - would you check the source URL for your subscription to this feed. I would appreciate it if you could make sure it is:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/VC_Adventure
Thanks.
Seth,
I suggest you remove the other feed links (newsgator and my yahoo) and mark the XML link as "subscribe" somewhere.
